I'm a huge Elliott Smith fan. I recently finished reading Elliott Smith & The Big Nothing and that made me want to post in the thread

It's funny because I've been listening to his music for years now and my favorite albums are S/T, New Moon and Roman Candle and I have always found these much better than his later albums (figure 8 and faboth). I always kind of disliked FABOTH so when i wanted to listen to one of those songs i would listen to a live version. But reading the book made me want to listen to each album as i read about that part of his life, so i was forced to listen to FABOTH and I'm finally able to appreciate that album.
I think Kings Crossing is my favorite from the album though it's almost impossible to choose. the "because we love you" breaks my heart every time i hear it..

I don't really have anything constructive to say other than i love his music and i feel like i can understand him a little better after reading the book
